Show L PANTAGE6 HAS PLEASING BILL J8 Sit Si WAYNE TRIO. THE BIGGEST HIT i ! ''The Goose Girl" at the j Broadway Finds Favor With Patrons. GINGER was the quality which predominated pre-dominated in the work of the performers per-formers in two of the acts that are a part of the new bill which opened a week's engagement at yesterday's matinee at the pantages theater. And it was that same quality that brought those two acts the preatesi volume of applause. Not to detract de-tract from any of the other acts on the hill, there is no gainsaying that an audience audi-ence Is more appreciative of work which goes with snap and vtm than it is with ease and languor, even though the latter performances may have the greatest amount of real merit, so far as the work of the player is concerned. The Wayne Trio, two women and a man. were easily the best feature of the fhow, with the ten Arabs in their acro-T acro-T batic performance running a close second. The trio affords the players a chance to dance, sing and tell a number of Jokes, some of which are new and some moss-grown, but all told with that quality qual-ity of energy that captivates an audience audi-ence and makes the people laugh at the point of the nonsense. The young women are pretty to look at and are graceful In t'neir dancing. Their voices would never make Melta jealous, but the sparkle In their eyes and the winsomeness of their smiles, together with a happy selection of songs, was pleasing to the audience- The Arabs gave a remarkable performance perform-ance of fast work. They combine tumbling tum-bling and pyramid building that requires dexterity and skill. Now and again there was some feat of especial daring that won applause of its own, and at the conclusion conclu-sion of their act the ten men were given evidence of the appreciation of the audience. au-dience. Walter S.

Possibly the members of the audience were more than usually critical, or possibly pos-sibly It was the interruptions to the act, caused by the setting and resetting of the scene, that detracted; but that something some-thing one has come to describe as "pep" was lacking.

"His bit of sentiment about the lovely woman who almost loved another better than she did her husband brought the appreciation appre-ciation of a few in the audience.

Frederick, a king over a pertain province belonging to the grand king, was ordered by his controlling dukes and ministers to wed the supposed daughter or the king. F'rederiek. being a man of Independence, refused, and instead went out in the guise of a peasant and found a little girl with whom he instantly fell in love. Servants of the grand duke, who was trying to force the young king into t he marriage, traced Frederick to the girl's home and later arrested him after he had killed a royal subiect. who in a drunken feast was pu'ving his attentions to (he goose girl.
